Pregnancy is starting to bring me down!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Its times like this when i wish i could be 40 weeks gone.
I have TMJ and was having botox to help it and it really worked but because i'm pregger i cant have it and my jaw is like locked and i have the worst migrane
eek,

Gosh all i do is moan and my DH isnt here to comfort me, im in a big creeky house on my own and im P***ed off big time! My coffee has gone cold
and im turning into that crazy pregnant woman who lives in the middle of a field, God dont i make myself sound scary.

Anyway how are you ladies, i need some chit chat to take my mind off this

Sorry, didn't wanna read and run. Sounds like you're going through a lot. I don't know much about TMJ, but there isn't an alternative (pregnancy friendly) treatment for it??

Im not sure i always used it as the best option for me and i dont want to go back to the doctors
I only went yeaterday

salut
i'm just on my way to bed and thought i'd take a peek in here first... have you ever tried anything like cranial-sacral therapy for TMJ? i think acupuncture works too! i have a splint that i'm supposed to wear at night cause i, too, have TMJ but it's not that bad, but my teeth grinding can be! i used to wake myself up at night in mid-grind, it was awful! seems to have subsided some, tho, can't recall the last time i noticed how sore my jaw was... it seems the more relaxed i get, the less my jaw hurts and the less tension i hold in it. hypnobirthing really helped me to become more relaxed than i ever thought possible! will be crazy to see if it 'works' during labour!
so get this, i had a crazy dream last night where i had my LO!! i don't remember the 'labouring' part so maybe it wasn't actually part of my dream, but i DEF remember pulling her up to my chest and thinking - how is she going to feed? i'm wearing a shirt!
and then i realized that i was alone, not scared or anything either and then another thought crossed my mind - how on earth am i going to explain this to everyone? having my baby alone?.....
i wonder if LO (sophie) came to me in my sleep to let me know she's coming soon and everything will be just fine?
sorry, that was a little 'off topic' lol i told OH when we chatted a cpl hours ago and all he had to say was 'you've been eating too much cheese' lol.. thanks babe haha
aaaaaaaaanywho, i totally feel your pain! i'm alone in a house with 3 cats (who keep me entertained tho, they're awesome!) more often than not and i was SO busy today shopping and cleaning and so on, my groin just aches now!! so i had a lovely warm bath with epsom salts and lavender oil then ate some popcorn and am heading to bed soon!
maybe you should have a nice warm bath too and just relax, do some long deep breathing! i'm a yoga teacher by 'trade' and find the breathing so wonderful
